Suggestion 1070 vs 2070

Featured Replies

Hello ….I need your suggestions I switched graphics cards from 1070 GTX 8Gb to 2070 super mini 8gb, for this I uninstalled all the old drivers and installed the new one to support the new card, I have exactly the same settings on P3D v5 and Nvidia and I can tell that I have lower frames with this newer card than my old one on the heavy airports, and I’ve had 2 crash to desktop (this never happened with the old 1070), is the 2070 really bad? Someone gave me their not used 2070 so that was the reason for changing the graphics card. Any suggestions ? 

Thank you .

Check your settings. Also, it's very possible you're CPU limited.

I'd try a clean install with NVCleanstall available here https://www.techpowerup.com/download/

Next thing delete your shader cache before you start the sim. Delete all file in this folder.

Local Disk (C:) ► Users ► You ► AppData ► Local ► Lockheed Martin ► Prepar3D v5 ► Shaders

Also check Prepar3D.cfg for an entry like this

[DISPLAY.Device.NVIDIA GeForce 2070.0.0] 

There should be your 2070 listed not the 1070. If it's wrong, just delete this entry.

Next start of the sim, it should work.

If it still crashes, it may be a problem of this hardware. Check if it's clogged with dust. Maybe it gets hot.

OS=WIN11 Home, Sim=P3D5 5.3 (P3D4 and FSX for install reasons)
Addons=ORBX, ASCA, AS, TOGA and tons of sceneries, aircraft

MB=Gigabyte AORUS Z790 Elite AX, CPU=i13900K, Cooling=Be quiet! Pure Loop II FX
GPU=KFA2 RTX3090 24 GB, RAM=64 GB DDR5-5600, HOTAS=Logitech G Saitek X52 Pro

If he was CPU limited, why would performance go down?

My bad, I understood no improvement at all; not a downgrade.

Hello guys my processor is i7 10700k I deleted old drivers and with the new card installed new drivers, also deleted the shaders, as I mentioned before all settings on Nvidia and Pd3 v5 are the same as before, I’m just looking to find why the frames go down so much compared to the old 1070……… guys a are you running your P3D on game mode ? What is your recommendation ?  

Hey @Chris555,  If you monitor the GPU use, is it reaching 100% (or very close it it) ?

Once a GPU maxs out frame rates drop and stutters begin.

The 1070 series was actually a pretty good card, I had a 1070Ti clocked to 2 Ghz and performance was pretty good.

If you limit the P3D frame rate in the Nvidia control panel to 30 fps, do things perform better ?

Cheers

Ryzen 5800X clocked to 4.7 Ghz (SMT off), 32 GB ram, Samsung 1 x 1 TB NVMe 970, 2 x 1 TB SSD 850 Pro raided, Asus Tuf 3080Ti

P3D 4.5.14, Orbx Global, Vector and more, lotsa planes too.

Catch my vids on Oz Sim Pilot, catch my screen pics @ Screenshots and Prepar3D

This is why I bought a GTX Titan about 6 years ago for $1400.00. Never a word not allowed problem with anything  and don't  expect any new GPU will catch up to it  in at least 4 years more.

That's funny.
